CareFusion Launches New Take-Apart Laparoscopic Scissors
Snowden-Pencer® instruments facilitate sterilization, enhance ergonomics and performance
Feb 12, 2013, 08:30 EST
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CareFusion Corp. (NYSE : CFN ), a leading, global medical technology company, today launched its new Snowden-Pencer® take-apart laparoscopic scissors.
The scissors are the latest in CareFusion's line of take-apart laparoscopic surgical instruments and provide sterile, sharp blades and a new insulated shaft for each procedure. Designed for easy assembly and disassembly, the scissors feature an ergonomic, reusable ring-handle that also fits Snowden-Pencer take-apart clamps, dissectors and graspers. The handle is designed to more evenly distribute pressure than traditional handles and accommodates a variety of hand positions for comfort and precision during surgery.
To ensure the new scissors meet customer requirements, CareFusion conducted a limited market release to test the scissors in surgical procedures. After evaluation by more than 30 surgeons who performed approximately 60 procedures, the scissors received high levels of customer satisfaction and 100 percent of surgeons who evaluated the product indicated they would recommend it to peers.
"The new Snowden-Pencer laparoscopic scissors are very modular, so we can adjust a tray as we see fit to create a very cost-effective approach to our surgeries," said Dr. Ryan Tyner, a bariatric surgeon at Lovelace Westside Hospital in Albuquerque and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. "I prefer to use the best instruments for my patients, and my personal opinion is that this is the best line on the market."
Snowden-Pencer take-apart scissors provide a fresh blade and insulated shaft for each use —reducing the need to clean and inspect the shaft and insulation — delivering potential cost savings compared to fully disposable scissors. Newly engineered and tested for use on various surgical materials and for consistent mixed hot and cold cutting without snagging, the scissors also come with the reassurance of a warranty against manufacturing defects.
Snowden-Pencer scissors are available in Curved Metzenbaum and Mini-Metzenbaum configurations in both 36 millimeter and 45 millimeter sizes. A hook-blade configuration will be available within the next few months.
For more than 50 years, Snowden-Pencer instruments from CareFusion have offered exceptional levels of performance and longevity. For more information, call 800.323.9088 or visit http://www.carefusion.com/SnowdenPencer.

Press release 142/2014
13 June 2014
Development Minister Pekka Haavisto will visit Sierra Leone on 16–18 June. Haavisto will co-chair the annual meeting of the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS), which promotes the development of fragile states, together with Minister of Finance Emilia Pires of Timor-Leste and Minister of Finance Kaifala Marah of Sierra Leone.
The meeting will discuss the situations of crisis countries included in the dialogue – Somalia, the Central African Republic, Guinea Bissau and South Sudan. In addition, solutions for crisis prevention and intervention at as early a stage as possible will be sought. The second special theme of the meeting is the role of Ministers of Justice and legal systems in statebuilding and peacebuilding.
At the meeting, Haavisto represents countries assisting fragile countries (the International Network on Conflict and Fragility, INCAF) and Pires the G7+ Group, a coalition of fragile countries. The meeting is closely linked with the peaceful societies theme, advocated for inclusion on the UN's Post-2015 Development Agenda by Finland together with the G7+ Group.
Haavisto's agenda also includes meetings with the top government leaders of Sierra Leone, international donors and civil society actors.
The IDPS is an international group promoting the development of fragile states that brings together fragile states, donors and civil society representatives. The work of the IDPS departs from the idea that issues concerning development and security are intertwined. The aim is to find new operating models that will help fragile states onto their feet and down the road of sustainable development.
The emphasis of activities is placed on developing countries' own needs and commitment as well as strong cooperation between fragile states, donors and civil society. Alongside sustainable development, Finland's central priorities in the group's activities are gender equality and equal opportunities in statebuilding, stengthening the national financial foundation of fragile states, and the reinforcement of trust between the state and citizens.
Additional information: Milma Kettunen, Press Attaché to Minister Haavisto, mobile tel. +358 40 522 9869; and Pia Stjernvall, Counsellor, Special Representative for International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding, mobile tel. +358 50 431 4780

Troubled pop star Ke$Ha has postponed her spring (14) tour to concentrate on battling her eating disorder problems.
The Tik Tok singer entered a rehab facility at the beginning of January (14) and she isn't quite ready to hit the road again.
In a statement to fans, she writes, "I was so looking forward to performing at these dates but I need to follow my Doctor's advice and get my health back on track.
"All of your support during this time has been so amazing. I couldn't have done this without you all. I look forward to coming back stronger than ever on the next tour."
Ke$ha has just completed a month-long treatment programme at the Timberline Knolls clinic in Illinois - the same health centre Demi Lovato called home for three months in 2010 and 2011 as she tackled her own drug addiction and food issues.

Back to School
A special Villager supplement
Carl Wynter, head of the P.S. 3 Building Committee, with his son Carlton, a student at P.S. 3, toss around the basketball. Carl is spearheading the Hudson St. schools drive to improve its athletic facilities by adding a rooftop gym.
New gym would put P.S. 3 kids on track to fitness
By Judith Stiles
Most parents know that waiting with kids in the checkout line at the deli spells trouble because the candy and junk food display is down low, calling out to the kids Grab me now!
Greenwich Village psychologist Dr. Carol Wachs laments that she faces this all the time with her twin 7-year-old daughters, but her solution to this annoying problem works. She tells the girls, Somebody put the candy there to trick you into wanting it, but as soon as we finish, we will go and get a really good treat! Keep moving, be firm, and distract attention away from the devilish display. Dr. Wachs points out that parents are not home free when they are out the deli door. They often face what feels like an onslaught of advertising for fast food and sugary drinks that has added to a spike in overweight and obese children across the country.
Dr. Jerry Clements of Village Family Practice notes with concern that in the past two decades while childrens median height has increased slightly, at the same time there has been a disproportionate increase in body weight. He adds that chubby children often turn into overweight adults who are at increased risk for heart disease and diabetes later in life. However, Dr. Clements is certain that junk food is not the only culprit; rather, city kids simply do not get enough physical activity. His theory is that the New York City parents, especially in Greenwich Village, put so much emphasis on getting into the right schools, testing, eventual placement into good colleges, success in school and success in life, that the physical education program in a childs life is largely overlooked.
Dr. Clements strongly recommends that children should have a minimum of one hour of aerobic exercise daily, which is nearly impossible when many public schools have little or no gym period. Recess enables some kids to run around, but it is often the less active or overweight kids who you will find standing around during free period, he adds.
Retired P.S. 3 teacher Lucy Rubin believes that students these days have a lot more nervous energy with all the emphasis on testing, which leads to more sitting.
Often we would open the doors to the rooftop play area and the kids would just run full throttle into the yard, as if they had been holding back, she says. The value of exercise in education is huge and because our P.S. 3 teachers recognize that, we have created our own dance program and the teachers take their classes to swim at the Carmine Street Pool a few times a week.
In 2006, the building that houses the current P.S. 3 on Hudson St. between Christopher and Grove Sts. will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and when architect C.B. J. Snyder designed the building in 1906, physical education was not a priority. Children spent much more time outdoors in that era, when that area of New York City was considered a suburb. The current space inside the front door of P.S. 3 was the designated gymnasium in1906, with an added wall to separate boys gym from girls gym. Now the wall is gone but large pillars that interrupt the space are still in place, making it impossible to play a decent game of basketball.
Two years ago two P.S. 3 parents, Carl Wynter, head of the P.S. 3 Building Committee, and Stefan Freid, an architect, put on their thinking caps and hatched an idea to put a tennis bubble on the rooftop play yard so that the kids could have a weatherproof gym space. The original idea morphed beyond a bubble to an additional floor a complete gymnasium to be built on the roof. Elaborate architectural plans were drawn up and the proposal won the full support of City Councilmember Christine Quinn.
Although rumors were flying around Greenwich Village that, hooray, P.S. 3 would finally have a gym, the parents and teachers await the results of a feasibility study with their fingers crossed, hopeful that funding for the gym will be found in the citys budget. Having a real gym would be a dream come true, says Rubin, who adds that, currently, a rainy day can mean up to five classes crowded into one truncated space that is their current so-called gym.
Parents and teachers alike agree that good nutrition begins at home and that unfortunately one cant always rely on schools to provide adequate exercise time. To get that hour of vigorous aerobic exercise daily, there are a variety of affordable and fun programs in Lower Manhattan beyond the ones sponsored by local schools. You can also try some of these at-home exercises. Thats right, exercising in your apartment! Here are a few tips culled from parents who simply cannot ferry their children to after-school activities. Resourceful neighborhood parents have enjoyed these activities alongside their children. Hey, aerobic exercise is good for everyone!
Jump rope in the hallway for a vigorous 20 minutes;
Make a game out of an exercise routine like jumping jacks, sit-ups and stretches;
Hop on and off a still soccer ball, alternating feet as fast as you can, while watching television, if you like;
Run in place and do squats with a parent and give a prize to who lasts the longest;
Sprint to the corner instead of walking to catch the school bus;
Get up an hour earlier for school and work and jog a few blocks with your child;
After-school recreation programs:
Tony DApolito Recreation Center (1 Clarkson St.)
The McBurney YMCA (229 W. 14th St)
The Sol Goldman 14th St. Y (344 E. 14th St.),
The Boys and Girls Republic (888 E. Sixth St.)

Say no to christian bands! haha.
I don't see how they're a Christian Band, it's much of just a label I think.

In yesterday's post, I mentioned that I was going to be repeating what I did last year and creating 12 resolutions for 2013, one for each month. Today is day one of the New Year {cue hallelujah!} and I thought it would be fun to share my 12 with you. I would love for you to join me on this journey, if you haven't made your list yet, it's not too late! Read all about it {here}.
Okay, ready? Here we go:
Get the workshop in order.
I have been so busy since moving in to the new workshop that I haven't taken the time to get it the way I want it and make it WORK for me. 30 days to transforming the space, losing the clutter and making it function in the way it has all the potential to.
Paperwork marathon.
Scan, shred, file, purge. Get caught up and get ready for tax season.
Rise and SHINE.
I could go on and on about this one and all that goes along with it, but basically, I want to develop the habit of rising early {instead of hitting snooze seventeen times and rolling out of bed at the last possible second and then spending the first hour of my day in a complete frenzy}. This one is strategically placed in March, to coordinate with the time change.
Run 30 for 30.
This was my favorite from last year. I wrote all about it {here}. It is worth doing again. It was awesome. I could use another month of awesome.
Take London Reid to the next level.
Lots of thoughts and details about this...but I am gonna leave it vague til then.
Photograph and blog the beauty in every day.
I'll be writing every day in the month of June. I'm excited, but also scared to death about this one - I think that's what makes for an awesome resolution.
Get outside every day.
We live at the beach and July is the perfect time to soak up the summer and be grateful for the beauty all around. Bike, swim, walk, run, paddle...just get out there!
Keep a gratitude journal.
I've been wanting to do this since I read One Thousand Gifts. I'm not sure if I would want to do it all year, but I think it will make for a great 30 day experiment!
The Great Purge!
This is sort of a September/October combined resolution. The plan is to assign each drawer, cupboard, closet, etc. a day and spend 30 minutes a day to clean out and organize each space. Sort, give away, throw away. Be ruthless and keep only what is useful, beautiful or sentimental. My goal is to get rid of at least 1200 items. {!!!} Read just how I'm gonna do that {here}. Clean and create orderly closets, cupboards and drawers...Just in time for the holiday madness to begin!
Buy and wrap every last Christmas gift and order Christmas cards {and mail them!}.
End November completely ready to enjoy the Christmas season and let PEACE {not panic} rule my heart in December.
31 Days of Giving to Others.
1 good deed a day. Random acts of kindness, goodness, generosity and thoughtfulness.
Did you make a resolution? Or 12?

Social Inclusion Action Plan
Details of the British Library's social inclusion action plan.
Why we need to implement a social inclusion action plan
To realise the Library's emerging vision, which seeks a society in which the advancement of knowledge is enhanced by connecting people, information and systems, so that every individual's life is enriched by the fruits of research, innovation and creativity.
Our social inclusion action plan will help us to:
- To attract new and more diverse audiences
- To attract the best staff
- To build the national collection so it reflects the cultural diversity of the UK
- To compete for development funding, so we are better able to develop our collections and, through an integrated range of services, make these accessible to anyone who wants to do research
How we are defining 'social inclusion'
Social exclusion is about more than income poverty. Social exclusion happens when people or places suffer from a series of problems such as unemployment, discrimination, poor skills, low incomes, poor housing, high crime, ill health and family breakdown. When such problems combine they can create a vicious cycle. Social exclusion can happen as a result of problems that face one person in their life. But it can also start from birth. Being born into poverty or to parents with low skills still has a major influence on future life chances.
We believe the Library's role in supporting the social inclusion agenda is to make its resources accessible to a wider public - by attracting a more diverse audience, and interpreting the collections in ways that will help people benefit from them, through learning, entertainment, stimulation of ideas, etc.
Key aims of the programme
- To attract, recruit and retain the best from the widest recruitment pool so that we can
a) meet the needs of a new and changing customer and stakeholder base
b) maximise productivity and creativity
- To shape and market our public programmes and services so that they are inclusive and attract takeup from a broader demographic profile
- To build the National Collection so it reflects the cultural diversity of the UK
- To develop the way we interpret and exploit the collection, so it can support the needs of a culturally diverse audience
- To ensure that the Library can repurpose its material so that it is relevant to the regions
Programme strands:
- Strand 1: Change from within: developing a more diverse workforce and inclusive working practices
- Strand 2: Marketing the Library to reach new audiences
- Strand 3: Collection reflects cultural diversity
- Strand 4: Aid diverse groups to engage/make meaning from collection displays and websites
- Strand 5: Work in partnership across the library, museum and archival communities
- Strand 6: Planned programme to support service and workplace improvements for people with disabilities (DDA Action Group)
The managers of the strands, together with representatives from all other directorates, have formed a Social Inclusion Steering Group, to progress the work, monitor progress and ensure activities are linked.
The detailed plans are given in the Appendix for 04/05 (Year 0) - 07/08 (Year 3).

MOSCOW – Both fiscal discipline and progress towards growth are possible, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Friday, urging his G20 colleagues to keep a tight rein on their budgets despite sluggish economies.
Too often the debate within the Group of 20 leading economies "has led to a false dichotomy between fiscal discipline and a pro-growth agenda," the minister said in the prepared text of his remarks at a G20 working dinner.
"While sound, medium-term plans to balance our budgets must be in place, this does not preclude us from also taking actions to promote jobs and growth, and position our countries for long-term prosperity."
He highlighted Canada's plan to balance its budget over the medium term, and said the ratio of federal debt to gross domestic product was projected to resume its downward track.
The minister pointed to the G20's structural reform commitments to increase labor market flexibility, undergo regulatory reform and liberalize trade, and urged the group not to backtrack.
Flaherty also voiced concern over rhetoric about currency wars: "I am concerned with the escalation of 'currency war' rhetoric, which … is contributing to the uncertainty that is holding back stronger growth," he said.
"We must send a signal by being unequivocal and united in our support for market-determined exchange rates and our opposition to protectionism."

When Secretary of State Colin Powell spoke to the U.N. Security Council on February 5, 2003, countless journalists in the United States extolled him for a masterful performance -- making the case that Saddam Hussein's Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The fact that the speech later became notorious should not obscure how easily truth becomes irrelevant in the process of going to war.
Ten years later -- with Powell's speech a historic testament of shameless deception leading to vast carnage -- we may not remember the extent of the fervent accolades. At the time, fawning praise was profuse across the USA's mainline media spectrum, including the nation's reputedly great newspapers.
The New York Times editorialized that Powell "was all the more convincing because he dispensed with apocalyptic invocations of a struggle of good and evil and focused on shaping a sober, factual case against Mr. Hussein's regime." The Washington Post was more war-crazed, headlining its editorial "Irrefutable" and declaring that after Powell's U.N. presentation "it is hard to imagine how anyone could doubt that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction."
Yet basic flaws in Powell's U.N. speech were abundant. Slanted translations of phone intercepts rendered them sinister. Interpretations of unclear surveillance photos stretched to concoct the worst. Summaries of cherry-picked intelligence detoured around evidence that Iraq no longer had WMDs. Ballyhooed documents about an Iraqi quest for uranium were forgeries.
Assumptions about U.S. prerogatives also went largely unquestioned. In response to Powell's warning that the U.N. Security Council would place itself "in danger of irrelevance" by failing to endorse a U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the adulation from U.S. media embraced the notion that the United Nations could only be "relevant" by bending to Washington's wishes. A combination of cooked intelligence and geopolitical arrogance, served up to rapturous reviews at home, set the stage for what was to come.
The invasion began six weeks after Powell's tour de force at the United Nations. Soon, a search for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction was in full swing. None turned up. In January 2004 -- 11 months after Powell's U.N. speech -- the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace released a report concluding that top officials in the Bush administration "systematically misrepresented the threat from Iraq's WMD and ballistic missile programs."
Left twisting in the wind was Powell's speech to the U.N. Security Council, where he'd issued a "conservative estimate" that Iraq "has a stockpile of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical weapons agent." The secretary of state had declared: "There can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more, many more."
Nineteen months after the speech, in mid-September 2004, Powell made a terse public acknowledgment. "I think it's unlikely that we will find any stockpiles," he said. But no gingerly climb-down could mitigate the bloodshed that continued in Iraq.
A decade ago, Colin Powell played a starring role in a recurring type of political dramaturgy. Scripts vary, while similar dramas play out on a variety of scales. Behind a gauzy curtain, top officials engage in decision-making on war that gives democracy short shrift. For the public, crucial information that bears on the wisdom of warfare remains opaque or out of sight.
Among the powerful and not-so-powerful, in mass media and on Capitol Hill, the default position is still to defer to presidential momentum for war. Public candor and policy introspection remain in short supply.
The new secretary of state, John Kerry -- like the one he just replaced, Hillary Clinton -- voted for the Iraq war resolution in the Senate, nearly four months before Powell went to the U.N. Security Council. During the crucial lead-up months, Senator Kerry was at pains to show his avid support for an invasion. In early October 2002, appearing for an hour on MSNBC's "Hardball" program live from The Citadel as an audience of young cadets filled the screen, Kerry said: "I'm prepared to go. I think people understand that Saddam Hussein is a danger."
Since then, Kerry has publicly said that he would have voted for the war resolution even if he'd known that Iraq actually had no weapons of mass destruction. But on the Senate floor, Kerry prefaced his vote for war by rhetorically demanding to know why Saddam Hussein was "attempting to develop nuclear weapons when most nations don't even try." The senator emphasized that "according to intelligence, Iraq has chemical and biological weapons."
Months later, when Powell trumpeted that theme at the United Nations, the landslide of testimonials included this one from a future U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice: "I think he has proved that Iraq has these weapons and is hiding them, and I don't think many informed people doubted that."
Meanwhile, the Washington Post edition with the editorial headlined "Irrefutable" also included unanimous agreement from each of the opinion columns on the facing page.
Longtime Post columnist Richard Cohen attested to Powell's unquestionable veracity with these words: "The evidence he presented to the United Nations -- some of it circumstantial, some of it absolutely bone-chilling in its detail -- had to prove to anyone that Iraq not only hasn't accounted for its weapons of mass destruction but without a doubt still retains them. Only a fool -- or possibly a Frenchman - could conclude otherwise."
Inches away, another venerable pundit held forth. Powell managed to "present the world with a convincing and detailed X-ray of Iraq's secret weapons and terrorism programs yesterday," wrote Jim Hoagland, a Post foreign-policy specialist. He concluded: "To continue to say that the Bush administration has not made its case, you must now believe that Colin Powell lied in the most serious statement he will ever make, or was taken in by manufactured evidence. I don't believe that. Today, neither should you."
Fast forward to the current era. What are Richard Cohen and Jim Hoagland writing -- about Iran?
On February 6, 2012, exactly nine years after proclaiming that "only a fool" could doubt Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, Cohen's column declared flatly: "The ultimate remedy is Iranian regime change." Four months ago, Cohen wrapped up a column by observing "there is still time for Iran to back down before President Obama's red line -- no nuclear weapon -- is crossed. This is a war whose time has not yet come." Not yet.
Hoagland -- a decade after telling readers they should put their trust in Colin Powell's "convincing and detailed X-ray of Iraq's secret weapons" -- is now making clear that his patience with Iran is wearing thin. "Until recently," Hoagland wrote five weeks ago, "I had been relatively comfortable with Obama's assertions that there is time to reach a peaceful resolution with Iran." Hoagland's column went on to say that military strikes on Iran "threaten disastrous political and economic consequences for the world," so diplomatic efforts should try to avert the need for such strikes -- before they become necessary.
So goes the dominant spectrum of opinionating and policymaking for war, from eagerness to reluctance. Propaganda lead-ups to warfare are as varied as wars themselves; and yet every style of such propaganda relies on deception, and every war is unspeakable horror.
After jumping onto ghastly bandwagons for one war after another, the nation's media establishment is available to do it again. So is the current U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. So is the new secretary of state. They're old hands, dripping with blood. They have not had enough.

Message from the Dean
Welcome to the School of Computing at the University of South Alabama.
The world economy is increasingly driven by computing. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that by 2018 computing occupations in the United States will grow by 21 percent or about 800,000 new jobs – more than double the growth rate of all other occupations in the United States.
Establishing a skilled computing workforce is essential to the long term economic stability of the region and can provide Alabama students long-term, recession-resilient employment opportunity. The School of Computing will meet the challenge.

The Public Symposium was broadcast live via This Is Tomorrow, and is available to view online .
Pamphlet Day! -11am - 3pm Saturday 27 May, 2017Charnwood Museum, Loughborough Library, Queens Park, Loughborough Market PlacePamphlet Day! -11am - 3pm
This day-long event took place across sites including Charnwood Museum, Loughborough Library, Queens Park, Loughborough's award winning marketand Mubu Hair. Involving live performative elements by artists commissioned by Radar and a 'market' of stalls where public participation in the making of new pamphlets, zines and protest paraphernalia was actively encouraged.

The radical roots of the pamphlet and art: For Orwell, the pamphlet is a polemical provocation. Protest and dissent, as demonstrated in performative and/or visual polemical forms are typified by the tradition of the pamphlet. The pamphlet thereby provides a means to examine possibilities for advocacy, protest and prefiguration shared by different disciplinary fields. The Art, Politics and the Pamphleteer project proposes that the format and traditions of the 'radical pamphlet' may provide an alternative platform for artistic intervention and provocation.The radical roots of the pamphlet and art:
'It is written because there is something that one wants to say now, and one believes there is no other way of getting a hearing. Pamphlets may turn on points of ethics or theology but they always have a clear political implication. A pamphlet may be written either for or against somebody or something, but in essence it is always a protest.' George Orwell in British Pamphleteers Volume 1, From the 16th century to the French Revolution, London, 1948
About RadicalAestheticsRadicalArt (RaRa): The RadicalAesthetics-RadicalArt (RaRa) project explores the meeting of contemporary art practice and interpretations of radicality to promote debate, confront convention and formulate alternative ways of thinking about art practice. The project has examined the intersection of philosophical ideas, art practices and aesthetics – in particular, their relationship to sensation, discourse, ethics, politics, activism, community, participation and collaboration.About RadicalAestheticsRadicalArt (RaRa):

Pleasant Valley's early focus was on manufacturing vintage teardrop trailers reminiscent of the teardrop trailers from the 1930s and '40s.
Pleasant Valley's humble beginnings in a 3-car garage have led to a large and modern state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in the rolling hills of Sugarcreek, Ohio. The company employs skilled craftsmen and women, who are dedicated to producing the highest quality teardrop trailers in the world. nüCamp RV is also the manufacturer of the

In 2010, Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers reached an agreement with Dutchmen Manufacturing to acquire the rights to the T@B Teardrop Trailer. nüCamp started by offering the traditional floorplans originally designed within the US as well as European markets. However, shortly thereafter, the company introduced two new models that featured an innovative wetbath – something that had never been done before in a teardrop camper trailer.
In 2016, Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers launched the nüCamp RV brand to replace the Pleasant Valley brand name. This new brand better reflects the company's vision and plan to bring the same dedication to quality construction and innovative design with which it has been associated over the last decade. The launch of the T@B 400 in the summer of 2017 was the first step in the company's plan to broaden its base of product offerings.

PHILADELPHIA - May 8, 2013 --Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph McFadden, spiritual adviser to 250,000 central Pennsylvanians, was hailed as a tireless advocate for his church at a funeral service in Harrisburg.
About 1,700 mourners packed Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, where Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput presided over Wednesday's more than two-hour service. Gov. Tom Corbett was in attendance.
Allentown Bishop John Barres recalled McFadden's lifelong love of basketball and said he "played to win" whether it was his work for Catholicism or participation in a ball game.
The 65-year-old McFadden died of a heart attack Thursday after feeling ill while attending a meeting of the Catholic Bishops of Pennsylvania in his native Philadelphia.
McFadden was Harrisburg's bishop for nearly three years. He's being buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Harrisburg.

PRINCETON — The Community Partners Against Substance Abuse coalition (CPASA) has started a "Draw the Line" campaign to encourage parents and other adults to say no to underage drinking.
CPASA coordinator Dawn Conerton said the purpose of the campaign is to remind parents and adults to do their part in preventing underage drinking by talking to teens about the dangers of alcohol, by not providing alcohol to minors and by supervising teen parties.
To promote its campaign, CPASA has posted a "Draw the Line" pledge for parents and other adults to sign at www.cpasa.org/pledge.
"The good news is that the majority of parents do not provide alcohol to their children," Conerton said. "But unfortunately there are local parents who supply alcohol for teen parties. Some parents think that 'supervised' drinking is 'safe' drinking, but the reality is that there is no safe way for underage youth to drink, especially in light of the recent brain research on alcohol and the teen brain."
According to the 2012 Illinois Youth Survey taken in Bureau and Putnam counties, results showed that 40 percent of the eighth graders who drink in Bureau and Putnam counties indicated their parents had provided them with alcohol with permission, as well as 40 percent of the 10th graders and 38 percent of the 12th graders.
Conerton said studies have shown the teen years are one of the worst possible times to use alcohol because the brain is still actively developing, and won't finish until the mid-20s. Drinking alcohol during the teen years can damage short- and long-term brain growth and that damage can be permanent, she said.
Studies show that teens who drink are also more likely to suffer blackouts, memory loss and potentially deadly alcohol poisoning from drinking, as well as cause damage to their ability to remember things in the future, Conerton said. Teen drinkers perform worse in school, are more likely to fall behind, and have an increased risk of social problems, depression, suicidal thoughts and violence, she said.
In addition to the on-line "Draw the Line" website pledge, CPASA is also putting up billboards in the area with a "I Will Be a Parent, Not a Bartender." message. The coalition will also get its message into the community through radio and newspaper ads, a direct mail campaign and booths at the county fairs, she said.
CPASA's goal is to do everything possible to help parents understand the health and safety implications of underage drinking and to educate them about their legal responsibility, Conerton said.
Effective Jan. 1, 2013, Illinois law now states that individuals can be arrested and face criminal charges for simply allowing or permitting individuals under the age of 21 to drink alcohol at their residence or on their property, even if the individual did not directly supply or provide the underage person with alcohol, Conerton said.
The bottom line is underage drinking is hazardous to the health and safety of teens and parents play a major role in their child's decision to make healthy choices, Conerton said.

Trial date set in puppy-burning case
Accused dog burner and parole absconder Adell Ziegler on Wednesday waived his right to a jury trial and will face a June 3 bench trial on a felony animal-cruelty count.
A pretrial conference was scheduled for May 16 by State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia.
Ziegler's appearance in court Wednesday was scheduled as a possible plea. But Ziegler decided against pleading guilty after his lawyers' discussions with the judge about the length of a prison sentence, among other issues, and whether sentences for the alleged cruelty count and parole violation would be served at the same time or one after the other if he is found guilty.
"The defendant at this time is not going to enter a plea," Buscaglia said in court.
Ziegler is accused of dousing a Jack Russell terrier puppy, since named "Phoenix," with lighter fluid and setting it on fire in October.
Buscaglia met privately with prosecutors Kristen A. St. Mary and Matthew A. Albert of the Erie County District Attorney's Office and defense attorneys E. Earl Key and Ann Nichols.
If convicted, Ziegler, 19, faces a maximum two-year prison sentence on the animal-cruelty count and also faces time on a parole violation.
Diondre L. Brown, 17, the alleged partner in the puppy-burning, has admitted to acting as a lookout and already pleaded guilty to a felony animal-cruelty charge. His sentencing was postponed Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the puppy, now about 10 months old, has healed nicely at the Buffalo Small Animal Hospital, an official at the hospital said earlier this month.

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By: Adele Harty, Cow/Calf Field Specialist, SDSU Extension Potassium may often be an underappreciated mineral in the world of ruminant nutrition, but it plays key roles in the body. Potassium is involved in acid-base regulation, osmotic pressure maintenance, nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and carbon dioxide and oxygen transport. Potassium works with sodium and chlorine to maintain the acid-base balance. We often hear of an animal's salt requirement, but why don't we hear about potassium? The concentration of potassium inside cell walls is nearly equal to that of sodium in the extra-cellular fluid, therefore the diet requirements are significant. The answer is that potassium is more abundant in forages. Recently balanced rations for backgrounded calves have indicated excessive or toxic levels of potassium. Upon review of the feed analysis, potassium levels are often in excess of 2.5 percent on a dry matter basis and readily available for absorption. Requirements are approximately 0.65 percent for 550 lb steers, therefore forage based diets have excess potassium. What result do these excess levels have on cattle over an extended period of time? Some minerals have very detrimental effects when they are fed in excess or at toxic levels. One example is when excessive or toxic levels of sulfur are supplied, cattle can develop polioencephalomalacia. So what happens with toxic levels of potassium? Unfortunately the answer is not clear cut. Dr. Terry Engle, a Professor at Colorado State University has a research focus on trace minerals. I asked him some questions regarding potassium and at what point do we need to be concerned about toxicity and what potassium toxicity looks like. Dr. Engle referred to the "Mineral Tolerances of Animals" Second Revised Edition 2005. This book discusses the chemistry of minerals and how they work in the body. Potassium is key to body function, but deficiency is outlined better than toxicity. In most cases toxicity is rare as excess potassium is excreted in urine, however this document also states 3 percent potassium as the maximum tolerable level. As the levels of potassium increases, magnesium absorption in the gastrotintestinal tract will decrease, which could have a resulting effect of milk fever or grass tetany depending on the forage situation. Aside from the issues with magnesium absorption, levels up to 6 percent potassium have been added to the diet of non-lactating animals with no toxicity symptoms being evident. Why have potassium levels increased in forages? There have been some recent trials from the University of Illinois evaluating soil potassium levels and how they increase in the soil. They did a four year trial with bi-weekly testing of potassium levels to see how the levels change over time. The study showed that in order to produce a 200 bushel corn crop, 46 lbs of potassium is removed with the grain, while the residue puts 180 lbs of potassium back into the soil. This is three times more than the next crop needs and is all readily available. So as the plants go through their life cycle, a small portion of potassium is taken into the seed, with a larger portion going back into the soil from the residue. There are a few take home messages with potassium: Potassium is crucial for many metabolic systems in the body, but excess potassium is readily excreted in the urine. The excess levels will have a more negative effect on lactating females than on non-lactating cattle. Potassium fertilization of grains is not necessary in many situations as the grain takes a smaller portion of potassium out of the soil than the residue puts back in. Most potassium sources are readily available, therefore when there are higher levels in forages, that potassium will be nearly 100 percent available. Back to news

Remedy and UC Berkeley launch wellness platform
Remedy Health Media is partnering with the University of California-Berkeley on BerkeleyWellness.com, which will deliver wellness information to consumers with the customary interactive spoonfuls of sugar—quizzes, slideshows, email alerts and social media feeds, along with roundtables and video chats featuring Berkeley experts.
Remedy and the Berkeley editorial board will collaborate on content, said Remedy. The site is expected to draw upwards of 1.25 million monthly unique visitors during its first quarter, the company said.
The site will be supported by advertising—inaugural advertisers include ProCure Proton Therapy Centers—pending approval of advertisers by a Berkeley review board, which the partners see as a differentiating point. It's in "very early beta" yet, said a Remedy spokesperson, but the aim is to establish a "device-agnostic platform" that engages proactive wellness info-seekers.
"We think wellness and prevention are going to become more important, and we're really excited about doing more on that side," said CEO Michael Cunnion.
Remedy Health Media acquired HealthCentral in 2011 and last month launched Patient Health Services, a platform which allows docs to push condition-appropriate health and wellness information to patients.

A 20-year-old man who authorities say opened fire on four moviegoers outside the theaters at Butler Plaza on Jan. 6 was convicted Friday of second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
A 20-year-old man who authorities say opened fire on four moviegoers outside the theaters at Butler Plaza on Jan. 6 was convicted Friday of second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
Shortly before 8:45 p.m. Friday, after less than four hours of deliberations, jurors reached their guilty verdict. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 10.
On Jan. 6, police say 20-year-old Zairon Jarquis Fussell of Miami opened fire on four moviegoers who were on a double date at the Butler Plaza theaters, located at 3101 SW 35th Blvd. in Gainesville. Police said Fussell fired at the four because he believed one person in the group had tripped him.
The six-person jury made up of two women and four men listened intently late Friday afternoon as attorneys made their closing arguments in the courtroom of Circuit Judge Ysleta McDonald at the Alachua County criminal courthouse.
State Attorney Adam Urra summarized two days of witness testimony, saying that all four alleged victims testified to being inside the theater when Fussell and a friend entered and Fussell began accusing the group of tripping him.
One victim, Amber Richardson, said the group denied tripping Fussell but admitted to arguing with him when he refused to leave them alone, Urra said. At one point, Fussell allegedly asked his friend, Robert Morris, to go back to Morris' apartment to retrieve a gun and then, according to testimony, issued a warning to the foursome: "I got you after," Urra said.
Minutes after the initial argument, at around 10:30 p.m., Fussell allegedly sent a text message to confirm that he really wanted Morris to bring the gun back. Morris returned with the gun and has been charged with conspiracy for his actions.
After the movie, the victims testified that Fussell resumed the argument, following the group outside. Video footage from the theater showed Fussell near the group wearing a black T-shirt with writing on it and camouflage shorts.
According to Urra, one of the victims, Brian Richardson, said that, as he neared his car, he turned around to face Fussell, finally wanting to fight, but Richardson said Fussell didn't move toward him. Instead, Richardson said, Fussell backed up and retrieved a gun from his shorts, saying "don't run now" as he cocked the gun and fired a single bullet allegedly aimed at Brian Richardson's chest. At 12:45 a.m., Amber Richardson dialed 911 and said someone was shooting at her.
Morris and a third friend of Fussell's fled in the vehicle they came in, according to testimony. Fussell fled on foot and, cellphone records indicate, made it back to Miami by the next afternoon.
Defense attorney John Ramsey called the case against Fussell circumstantial.
Gainesville police never recovered a bullet or shell casing from the scene, he said. The state's key witnesses were the victims, and thus not impartial, Ramsey said. No independent observer reported seeing the shooting, Ramsey added.
Ramsey also made issue of Amber Richardson not recognizing Fussell in a photo lineup, although in court she identified the defendant as the shooter. She also identified the clothing he was seen wearing in the video footage. But some in the group did not know what the lettering on his T-shirt said, according to testimony.

Missing teen's body found on Outer Banks beach
Authorities in Currituck County say the body of a 16-year-old who disappeared while swimming on the Outer Banks has been found.
Currituck County Sheriff Susan Johnson said the body of Thomas Harman of Fuquay-Varina was found Monday by people walking along the beach north of Corolla.
Johnson said Harman was swimming with others about 4 p.m. Saturday around mile post 15 when the group began struggling in a rip current. She said bystanders were able to rescue two of the swimmers but were unable to reach Harman.

Mike, Armando's is, unfortunately, for most New Yorkers, the 'real deal,' and this last pizza blows Armando's out of the water, so, in that sense, you've far surpassed the 'real deal.' Unless, by 'real deal,' you're talking about Avellino's. The undercrust is pretty much flawless- I don't think they can top you on that. The rim crumb looks excellent as well. The undercrust crumb, though, could be a tiny bit more moist/creamier/finer, like the pizza you did herehttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8093.msg165107.html#msg165107If you take this undercrust crumb (minus the toppings, of course) and combine it with all the features of this most recent pie, I think you'll have perfection.On a separate note, based upon the superior results you're seeing with cordierite-mullite, I've made the decision to reach out to kiln shelf purveyors to see if any of them has any control over the recipes for their shelves, and, if they do, would it be possible to create a shelf with an even higher conductivity. I still love steel, but, for many people, steel is just too heavy. Most shelves are imported from China, but I'm hoping there's an outfit or two that makes their own shelves and is willing to alter their recipe to better suit the pizza community's needs.
Well, you've been away for awhile, but you stepped back up to the plate with some fine looking pizza Mike.
Mike,Great looking pizza! Good to see you back on the forum posting pictures of your pies.Norma
Thank you very much, Sir! I caved and gave in to the pizza craving. But the time off was necessary to get back in shape.
Norma,Thanks a million! I think I'll stick around for awhile
I'm wondering what your thoughts are on Rays of Prince Street in NYC? It's closed now but was hailed as the original Ray's and although I have never had the chance to eat a slice from Ray's, rumor has it that it's been one of the best in NYC.
I was only able to make it to Rays on Prince once, but, from talking to other people, Ray's went through a similar descent in quality that Joes experienced. Not the crater that the rest of NY suffered through, but still a drop. The slice I had was solid, but not on par with any of the great slices further outside Manhattan. As you can see from the photo here:http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/02/where-is-the-original-first-rays-famous-pizzeria-nyc.html?ref=titlethe crumb is looking a lot like a quick, taste impaired fermentation.Honestly, you can certainly continue to tweak your process in search of some ultimate goal, but, as far as NY style pizza goes... your fully on par or better than any of the places you have pictured, and better than 99.9% of the pizzerias in NY. You might even have pizzatown and new park beat. At this point, you're really only competing with yourself. Once you surpass your idols, it can become a bit of a head game, and you can start questioning yourself, but, as long as you have clear goals that you're striving for, you can continue to grow.Btw, what kind of cheese is this? It's hard to judge the cheese with the aid of the extra fat from pepperoni, but it looks a lot like you've got it worked out.
What is the price per LB on the TJ mozz if I may ask?
I do a NY pie with All Trumps, but have my mixing down to 3 minutes with my Kitchen Aid...
FWD: OMG-best pizza ever! Thin crispy crust , great toppings. Over the top! Your best crust to date!! Thx for sharing!
Looks like a mighty fine pie!

Towards the end of 2012, politics seemed to dominate news cycle. This could hardly be surprising in an election year, but this increased public awareness generated a lot of questions, and almost every media outlet had something to contribute. Steven Spielberg's film "Lincoln" fit quite easily into this discussion, even though Spielberg insisted on waiting until after the election to premier his film (link). The movie focused heavily on politics, and gave us an intriguing glimpse at the political climate Lincoln faced, the challenges he overcame, and the divisions across and within political parties.
As I observed reactions to the movie, I found that both friends and strangers, liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, emerged with questions about how the movie's take on politics connected with our own experiences. I assured people asking me questions that there were connections to make, but American political history has not always divided as it currently does, and understanding that is a key to making any comparisons.
The current political divide, between conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats, weighs heavily on our perceptions, and it can be hard to believe that in the mid-1800s, the upstart Republican Party was in fact home to most of the era's liberal politicians. These "radical republicans," led by the likes of Thaddeus Stevens (link) and Charles Sumner would dominate their party especially after Lincoln's assassination. In spite of any one faction's dominance, powerful liberal and conservative elements existed in both the Democratic and Republican coalitions.
Spielberg's "Lincoln" does show Lincoln navigating between the liberal and conservative elements of his own party, and Lincoln himself almost always preferred to be a force of moderation. Conservatives attacked him over the Emancipation Proclamation, balked at the expansion of federal powers, and at times agreed with Democratic critics who branded him a tyrant. Radicals, likewise, complained Lincoln dragged his feet on civil rights, pressed for harsher measures against the South, and sometimes dismissed him as an opportunistic "prairie politician." Even still, Lincoln found a way to unite his party as a force for change, something Spielberg's movie shows wonderfully.
Modern connections to the political party Lincoln once led are have been stretched and severed over the decades, just as Thomas Jefferson's Democratic party has been transformed. Most of Lincoln's political philosophy bolted from the Republican fold dramatically with Teddy Roosevelt in the 1912 election, and the remaining conservative core that crystalized around William H. Taft shed light on the future path of the Republican Party. Lincoln's cultural value has remained as important as ever, across party distinction, as historian David Donald famously noted, politicians have a powerful urge to "get right with Lincoln" (link). If anything, Lincoln shows that our most important president's actions are still viewed with reverence and America is still very much a land of Lincoln.

On Wednesday Kobe Bryant will play in his final game, finishing his 20th season with the Lakers. Here is a look at 10 of the key moments over Bryant's memorable career:
10) April 12, 2013 — Two free throws with an Achilles' tendon tear
Bryant was playing at an elite level until the game against Golden State. Although he was never the same after tearing his Achilles' tendon, Bryant was somehow able to stay in the game after the injury to shoot, and make, two free throws before leaving. Bryant finished with 34 points; his free throws helped the Lakers pull out a 118-116 victory.

Japanese Marinated Soft Boiled Egg for Ramen (Ajitsuke Tamago) Recipe
Unraveling the mysteries of home cooking through science.
Note: This recipe can be made using leftover broth from chashu pork. If you have this broth, replace all the ingredients in the marinade with the broth.
Read more: The Food Lab, Ramen Edition: How to Make a Marinated Soft Boiled Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago)
- Yield:makes 6 eggs
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:At least 4 hours to marinate
- Rated:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sake
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 eggs
Combine water, sake, soy, mirin, and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Pierce fat end of each egg with a thumbtack to make a tiny hole (this prevents them from cracking and eliminates the air bubble at the end). Carefully lower eggs into water with a wire mesh spider or slotted spoon. Reduce heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook for exactly 6 minutes. Drain hot water and carefully peel eggs under cold running water (the whites will be quite delicate).
Transfer eggs to a bowl that just barely fits them all. Pour marinade on top until eggs are covered or just floating. Place a double-layer of paper towels on top and press down until completely saturated in liquid to help keep eggs submerged and marinating evenly. Refrigerate and marinate at least four hours and up to 12. Discard marinade after 12 hours. Store eggs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in ramen soup to serve.
